Kernel UaF due to audit session port failing to correctly account for spoofed no-more-senders notifications
This exploit is a Use-After-Free vulnerability in the audit session port of the kernel. It is triggered by sending a spoofed no-more-senders notification to the audit session port. This causes the kernel to incorrectly account for the notification, leading to a Use-After-Free vulnerability.
Mitigation:
The best mitigation for this vulnerability is to patch the kernel to correctly account for spoofed no-more-senders notifications.
